You Drive Me Nuts

Journaling reads: Yes, this little saying has come around full circle. It started when I tried to find a way to express my frustration without giving in to foul language. And it was perfect, because there were days I thought I was losing my mind after listening to your endless chatter and questions. Then one day when I was asking you to clean up your toys, you looked at me very exasperated and said, “You’re driving me nuts, Mama.” It took me by surprise and I laughed immediately. This was a mistake because you realized that you could use it to your advantage. I think we’ve both moved on to other phrases, but at the end of your 3rd year and into the beginning of your 4th, this was something you could hear daily at our house.

bride

Ahhh, this is me, nearing 16 years ago. In some ways, it seems like just yesterday, but in other ways it seems like another life ago. It's hard to remember life without children. :o) I'm slowly but surely working on our wedding album . . . so you'll see these older pics scattered in my layouts from time to time.

Spirit of Summer Charity Collab for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal

Spirit of Summer is a charity collab benefiting the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. Not only has this effected Australians, but human beings the world over. Twenty-nine Australian and international designers have banded together to help support many Australians, animals and communities decimated by one Australia's worse national disasters.

What happened? On Saturday, Feb 7, the temperature in Melbourne was 33C by 9am. By noon it was 40C and by 2:50 pm soared to 47.9C (a state record). Thousands of people were also about to start running from the inferno that would become one of Australia's worst peacetime disasters. Trees ignited in the blink of an eye. By the time people heard the roar, it was too late to flee ahead of the flames. Unfortunately no one or thing could have stopped this inferno that wiped out communities, bushland, and lives within minutes. Many towns now cease to exist! After watching interviews with survivors, many say that they can't put into words what they went through, saw or felt on that day.

Why is this charity kit different? No money will change hands at Snap N Tag (the host website). We are asking for your support by donating DIRECTLY to one of the following charities: The Salvation Army or the Australian Red Cross.

What do you get for your donation and where: You will be helping the people of Victoria, Australia most importantly, but you will also receive this amazing MEGA kit (see below). There are 167 papers, 326 elements, 2 Alphas and a glitter syles pack as well.How amazingly fabulous is that and you can receive all of this for as little as a $5.00 donation. (**Vouchers will be emailed upon receipt of proof of Donation**) But that's not all! For showing us how much you all really care, you not only get the MEGA kit but receive a Quickpage Album if you donate over $10.00.

You can visit the ScrapNTag website here for more details: Spirit of Summer Charity Collab at ScrapNTag.
